Are the Biancocelesti confident for the derby?
Torino FC and Lazio Roma experienced a completely different start to the season. The Granata lost their first two league games, but then celebrated two wins in a row The Laziali, on the other hand, started with two victories before subsequently recording only one point out of a possible six. Accordingly, both teams are also close together in the standings
At least the record speaks clearly in favour of the capitals, who have lost only one of the last seven away games at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Accordingly, in the run-up to the encounter between Torino FC and Lazio Roma, the odds are swinging in the direction of the Biancocelesti.
Given that Lazio Roma have been extremely goal-hungry so far, scoring eleven goals in their first four league games and equalling their own record from the 1934/35 season, we see plenty of value in betting on a high-scoring match between Turin FC and Lazio Roma.
Contrary to the momentum of both teams, however, we find the best ratio of probability of occurrence to winning opportunity in betting on an away win for the Romans, whose coach Maurizio Sarri has never lost to the Granata in ten league games (eight wins, two draws).
Italy Torino FC – Statistics & current form
Torino Football Club have won the Scudetto seven times and the Coppa Italia five times. However, their most recent successes go back a long way. At least the eighth-placed team in the eternal Serie A table has been playing in the first division without interruption since the summer of 2012.
A look at the final table of the 2020/21 season shows that this is by no means a matter of course. With just seven wins from 38 league games, the Granata barely managed to stay in the league in 17th place.
Six points out of a possible twelve from the first four games
The upheaval this summer was correspondingly large. With Ivan Juric, a new coach took over. In addition, a total of 14 new players came to Piedmont, who should ensure that the 2021/22 season is much calmer than the hectic previous season.
After two defeats at the start of the season, the Toro (the bull) managed to turn things around on the third matchday. A 4-0 victory over Salernitana was followed by a 1-0 win at Sassuolo. Now Torino FC could celebrate three wins in a row for the first time since February 1992
Currently six injured regulars
However, with a view to the home record against the Laziali, that is rather unlikely. The Granata have only won one of their last eight home games (two draws, five defeats) against the Romans. Accordingly, they go into the match as underdogs.
For Torino FC against Lazio Roma, odds of 3.32 are offered for the third win in a row for the Piedmontese, who also have quite a few personnel problems. With Belotti, Zaza, Edera, Kone and Verdi, five offensive players are currently out injured, as is defender Izzo…
Predicted line-up of Torino FC:
Milinkovic-Savic – Ansaldi – Rodríguez – Bremer – Djidji – Singo – Mandragora – Lukic – Linetty – Brekalo – Sanabria

Italy Lazio Roma – Statistics & current form
This past season, Società Sportiva Lazio did reach the last 16 of the Champions League. In the league, however, the two-time Italian champions did not make it into the top four again, but had to be content with qualifying for the Europa League as sixth in the final table.
In the last few weeks, the capital city side suffered another setback. The Biancocelesti lost their first group match 1-0 away to Galatasaray Istanbul.
After a strong start, three wins in a row
With just one point from a possible six in their last two league games against AC Milan and Cagliari Calcio, the side from the eternal city have now waited three competitive games for another treble.
The momentum from the strong start to the season, in which the Biancocelesti even topped the Serie A table for a week after a 6-1 victory over Spezia, has thus evaporated. The turnaround would be all the more important for the Laziali. After all, one of the most important games of the year is coming up on Sunday with the Derby della Capitale against arch-rivals AS Roma
Will superstar Immobile make the difference at his old stomping ground?
At least the attacking flair for goals is encouraging for Turin FC against Lazio Roma Tip 2. For the first time since the 1934/35 season, eleven goals have been scored after four matchdays, five of which were scored by superstar Ciro Immobile.
The 31-year-old was also a prolific scorer in Turin, where he once scored 27 goals in 47 games for the Granata. He has already scored seven goals for the Aquile (in German: die Adler) in ten games against his former employers. Now he is expected to play an active role in Torino’s third consecutive away win at the Stadio Olimpico Grande.
Predicted Lazio Roma line-up:
Reina – Hysaj – Acerbi – Felipe – Marusic – Alberto – Cataldi – Milinkovic-Savic – Pedro – Anderson – Immobile

Head to head: 44 – 58 – 42

Italy Turin FC – Lazio Roma Italy bet
For Turin FC against Lazio Roma, the prediction has to take into account the recent record on the one hand. On the other hand, however, the fact that the home side have to compensate for six injured regularsis also a factor. Considering that the Granata are not overly strong across the board, that could make all the difference
Adding to that is the enormous scoring rate of Lazio’s superstar Ciro Immobile, who could be exactly the tipping point in such supposedly eye-to-eye matches. Accordingly, we find a lot of value in betting on an away win for the capital city team.
